A vague answer that says nothing and can't be proven. Thank you for wasting our time.

Discord built its own TSA?

Activist judges?

The supreme court is majority activist judges. Why cant new judges undo the old activist judges wrongly decided law? Why are the other new judges suddenly activists?


In the case of Citizens United, it's actually a pretty straightforward case. Without a constitutional amendment, it would take a very unorthodox reading of the first amendment.

The "problem" with Citizens United is that it's a very clear case.


Corporations are amoral immortals who cannot be placed behind bars. Therefore they should never be given the rights of human beings.

They don't have the rights of human beings. Humans don't lose their rights because they are in a corporation, that is the outcome of Citizens United.

"A corporation is people" is the singular of "corporations are people". Anyone saying anything different is lying or misinformed.

Think about all the times someone who definitely knew better implied that it meant a corporation is a person and trust them less.


>small regional airline in the South, where if you checked a gun, the pilot just gives it back to the passenger...

If the passenger is white. They would call the cops on anyone else. The state dept of terrorism would get involved if they were 1/1000 middle eastern.


White people and passenger planes tend to get along well. They invent them.

Do you hold your pinky out while you eat your "grain-finished" beef?


It's just beef. I go to the supermarket and buy steaks and then I cook them. Sometimes they're finished on grain if the farmer didn't have enough feed, and otherwise they're finished on grass or silage or hay.

I don't understand why you would write something like that in response to a pretty normal discussion. The whole point was that I don't care what feed the beef was finished on.


Freedom of speech is now defined as the person with the most power or who screams the loudest has the final say. That is what happens when you elect a dictator.


It has been that way in the US since the supreme court decided that money is equivalent to speech. And the effects have been ramping up ever since. If there is only so much bandwidth in communication, then using money to monopolize airwaves directly reduces the speech of those who cannot afford the excessive cost that results. Monopolize here is used in the sense of dominating the available supply (of bandwidth) and bidding up the price.

Citizens United must be overturned.

You let the Nazis have their speech and now they are running the country. Let's see how they respond to your well reasoned arguments.


> elect a dictator


Ill speculate as to why, paid astroturfers are posting it. Look at Twitter, most accounts that post that insane trump loving crap are in third world countries.


What? That is awful logic.


AI is needed to restart feudalism?


If you read the article, you'll notice what a joke the corporate world is. They are hiring someone sitting in prison, they did the interview through video in prison. His address is a prison, but....

"He figured Thorpe might have trouble clearing the company's background check and he says he prepared himself for that. But since it only searches back seven years and since Thorpe has been in prison for more than a decade, "He is actually our cleanest background check," Costa says."

"He doesn't have a parking ticket." What does a parking ticket, let alone a criminal conviction have to do with programming?

Let's just go ahead and get to the exploitation, the corporate scum offered him minimum wage and are taking advantage of his situation.
